Frid means peace in Swedish, or rather "inner peace" so 平和 was a bit of a stretch. Incidentally, at the post office here, you can either sign by pen or by name stamp.

Our kiwi counterparts could learn a lot from the eagerness, the running about, the cleaning cloths, the card service through the window, and, of course, the guiding of the car back out into the traffic.Judenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25713648.post-69567690261776189402013-07-21T20:24:36.812+09:002013-07-21T20:24:36.812+09:00I love japanese service.

When I had to deal with the bank earlier this year I was surprised that the staff used English and good English. i had one of my older boys with me to translate as I never asume that people speak English. When i expalined that I had to close accounts because of my husbands death they went out of their way to be helpful. Very different to the "What you want"Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534011165072158069noreply@blogger.com
